Plan on picking up tempest after work today. I'm sure it is "passable", but I don't see any reason to pass on it. I'm more than willing to pay 10 dollars to hear something new from the man. I've only heard "duquense whistle", It wasn't anything special but it wasn't all that bad.

I'm glad to say I purchased VIP tickets to see him in November. I can't wait.

Been listening a lot to One of us must know (sooner or later) recently and it's an underrated masterpiece and probably my favourite song on Blonde on Blonde. The piano is sublime, I never understood people who say Dylan couldn't come up with melody.

Theres a guy on youtube called 'fishtruckthatloads' who has uploaded some great Dylan live performances from over the years.

Always been one of my favorite songs.

Love it. I wish he'd have performed it live during 66, don't think he put it in a setlist until the 80's.

Listening to the Basement tapes again has reaffirmed my opinion that it is one of the best things he's ever done.

certainly interesting

though his voice sounds like ****

i also got the other Dylans I put off getting last time, his late eighties stuff
Definitely sounds interesting enough to check out. I'm sucker for hearing an artist in chronological order, though, so I suppose I need to get to work...Empire Burlesque is the next on my queue.

I've only listened to complete bootlegs of the basement tapes, which are massive. That's probably why I've never been able to fully absorb the basement tapes material or ever had a clear cut opinion on them. I'll try out the commercially released album sometime and see what I think.

Also, from my recent relistening to Dylan albums...Another Side of Bob Dylan isn't as consistently interesting as I remember it being and John Wesley Harding is even better than I remembered it. The bass all over that album is great!

The columbia released album of the Basement tapes is brilliant, you'll love it. Another side of Bob Dylan is a bit of transition album between folk singer Dylan to electic Dylan but it's still a very good album in it's own right, Chimes of Freedom, To Ramona and It ain't me babe are classics.

Empire Burlesque is mostly whale-dreck, with Dark Eyes being the only stand-out track

Today I listened to "Tempest", and if you hesitate whether to buy it or not, stop hesitating and go to the store right now. Pure masterpiece - that's what I can say. His voice now when he's old is soo damn good, and the song-writing in the album is as always Dylan's style - pure gold. There is also his rendition of Hoochie Coochie Man in the song "Early Roman Kings". The lyrics in the album are very dark-themed and, as always, genius. Certainly one of the best of his late albums.
